Re: hp pavilion dm4

Does the notebook just do this at your house or everywhere (if you ever take it out)?

Sometimes I find that changing the router's broadcast channel helps with connections on some wireless cards.

You may want to try changing the router's broadcast channel to 1 or 11 to see if that makes a difference. Sometimes there is interference from other routers in the neighborhood all broadcasting on the same channel.

You will need to visit your router manufacturer's website to see how to access the router's configuration menu to change the wireless broadcast channel.

Also there are advanced settings for the network card in the device manager.

Hmm, I have never tried using my laptop anywhere else so I can't say if it would act differently. That would be a good idea to try though, thanks.

However, I do know that other internet-connected devices don't have that problem. Other laptops and my smartphone never drop their wireless connection which is why I didn't think it could be my router. I am still going to try changing the broadcast channel anyway, thanks.
